Wet Basement Repair Toronto

WET BASEMENT REPAIR IN TORONTO

There are several signs that indicate you have a wet basement problem.

If you walk downstairs, and there’s a musty smell, that’s certainly a sign there is excess moisture. Sometimes you’ll see dampness or water stains at the base of the concrete wall, on the ceiling, or on the basement floor.

Efflorescence is another sign you have a wet basement. That’s the salt deposits or whitish residue on the walls that occurs after water evaporates.

In some cases the situation has become so extreme there is water trickling out of the walls. And even more serious than that, rot in the carpet or wood, or signs of rust, are indications you have a big problem.

SO YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

There are a number of things you can do.

Do some landscaping. Make sure the soil next to the home’s foundation slopes away from the foundation, so water flows in a safe direction.

Concrete is porous. So if water is sitting up against the foundation walls of your basement, it will eventually make its way through.

The slope should be at least six inches over the first ten feet in all directions.

Every fall and spring, check the eavestroughs and gutters for clogs caused by leaves or debris. Water will overflow during an intense rainfall and over-saturate the ground next to the foundation walls if there are blockages.

GUTTER EXTENSIONS

Add gutter extensions on the outside of the home, if the downspouts from the gutters are less than five feet away from the house’s foundation.

Again, with more incidents of heavier rainfall, that means more water will rest next to the foundation. Inexpensive extensions onto the downspouts will direct water safely away from the house.
